Yeah fucking right.

I've been reading Seven Pillars of Wisdom lately, and you know who I would consider to be /k/ hero material? Motherfucking Lawrence of Arabia. Adventurer, archaeologist, student of military history, polyglot, athlete, expert marksman, and one of the first modern unconventional warfare specialists. Literally the real life Indiana Jones.

As a young man, just 21 years old, T. E. Lawrence went off alone into the deserts of Ottoman Syria, and walked 1,000 miles in three months, contending with the summer heat as well as Arab bandits and Turkish soldiers. Why? To document and study Crusader castles as part of his final thesis for university. Most college-going anons here probably bitched about having to type something on a laptop, myself included.

And being this is /k/, of course I need to talk about his guns. This was a man who could appreciate a fine firearm. During his walking tour in Syria, he carried, like so many other famous Britons of his day, a Mauser C96, and supposedly also carried a Single Action Army, which was stolen from him by a bandit, who nearly shot him with it.

Years later, while doing archaeological work for Oxford at Carchemish, he once again carried a C96, as well as a Colt 1908 Hammerless, and a Mannlicher-Schönauer carbine. In letters to his brother Frank, another man who could appreciate a fine firearm, he claims to be able to hit meter square targets with the carbine at 1,200 yards, almost double its effective range.

During his campaign with the Bedouin, he carried the Colt M1911, like so many other British officers, as well as a Lee-Enfield Mk. III. This rifle was captured by the Turks from retreating Essex Regiment elements at Gallipoli, and was presented by Enver Pasha to Emir Faisal, who then gifted it to Lawrence. His first five Turkish kills are notched into the stock, and the action is engraved in Arabic script with gold leaf.

You forgot the fact that he carried a fucking Lewis gun in a leather scabbard on his camel near the tail end of the Revolt.

I've read the book too, and I think at one point he mentions using a Lewis aircraft model to perforate Turkish tents, and presumably the soldiers inside as well.

I agree wholeheartedly by the way. Lawrence is /k/ as fuck, and criminally underrated around here

>>30668849
I doubt MacArthur said that. Asshole left Marines to die in the Pacific. If he really did, I'd be surprised.

>>30668879
He did, during the Korean war. He was impressed by the way Marines fought and requested from Washington another division of Marines, which wasn't possible because they were downsized to 68,000 personnel, one of the times they were close to being annexed.

>>30668932
Well, now that I think of it, hypocrisy like that is perfectly in character for MacArthur.

You could rarely fault him as a military commander, but as a person, he was absolutely deplorable.

About the rifle? The full story is kinda funny.

It was actually one of a large number of rifles that were seized at Gallipoli. Four of them were inscribed with the same message, something to the effect of "Part of our booty in the battle for the Dardanelles". These four rifles were then presented to each of the sons of Sherif Hussein of Mecca by Enver Pasha, the leader of the Ottomans.

Now, this was before the Arab Revolt, but already there was talk of rebelling against the Ottomans. The sons of Sherif Hussein were not only warriors, they were slick political operators. They understood the message behind Pasha's gift. "See what we did to the British? I know you chafe under our rule, and if you resist, we shall do the same to you".

Which is what makes this whole thing funny. Faisal gives one of those rifles to the man who made it possible for his army to bring the Ottomans to their knees. Not only that, but this man used it to personally kill Enver Pasha's soldiers. Irony at its finest.

Orde Wingate. This guy right here was the WW2 incarnation of T.E. Lawrence.

He was first stationed in British Palestine where he created his own personal kike counter-insurgency to combat the Palestinian rebels before the war.

When the war actually kicked off he was sent off to meet the exiled emperor of Ethiopia, who he then used to raise an army of Ethiopian volunteers to retake Ethiopia from the Italians. It was at first the only British unit in that theatre, until his success and near capture of the Ethiopian capital prompted British high command to send other units to get there first and prevent an independent Ethiopia.

Later on he got sent to Burma, where the Japs were pressing on. Here he invented the concept and practice of LRRP, as well as the famous Chindits. He took this experiment very seriously, to the point of having every single person on his camp run wherever they're going (pretty big thing to make officers, including ones that aren't even in your unit, run everywhere). He even had veterinarians come to his camp while he was preparing for his first LRRP to cut the vocal cords off of the pack mules who would be carrying most of his supplies.

After unprecedented success against the Japs, he was given huge amounts of resources by the Americans, who really enjoyed his concept of LRRP. He devised an even more extended and improved LRRP which included entry teams who would carve out airstrips deep in enemy jungle where the chindits would base themselves for extended LRRP operations. He died in a plane crash during the very first of these new LRRPs.

Born of War is a dank book that was written about him not long ago, definitely recommend as a /k/ book.

People just cherry-pick instances on the show where he didn’t “live the experience” off-camera.
The point of the show was to demonstrate survival techniques, which it does. It’s not a drama. No one wonders if Bear is going to die that episode.
Bear prefers to live in a manner which preserves his health when he’s not on-camera. Doesn’t make the dude a fake.

Just read the Wikipedia article for him.

Baron Adrian von Folkersam

>In early August 1942, a Brandenburger unit of 62 Baltic and Sudeten Germans led by von Fölkersam penetrated farther into enemy territory than any other German unit. They had been ordered to seize and secure the vital Maikop oilfields. Disguised as men of the dreaded Soviet security police, the NKVD, and driving Soviet trucks, Fölkersam's unit passed through the Soviet front lines and moved deep into hostile territory. The Brandenburgers ran into a large group of Red Army deserters fleeing from the front. Fölkersam saw an opportunity to use them to the unit's advantage. By persuading them to return to the Soviet cause, he was able to join with them and move almost at will through the Russian lines.

>Operating under the false identity of NKVD Major Truchin, based in Stalingrad, Fölkersam explained his role in recovering the deserters to the Soviet commander in charge of Maikop's defences. The commander not only believed Fölkersam, but the next day gave him a personal tour of the city's defenses. By August 8, the German spearheads were only 12 miles away and the Brandenburgers made their move. Using grenades to simulate an artillery attack, they knocked out the military communications centre for the city. Fölkersam then went to the Russian defenders and told them that a withdrawal was taking place. Having seen Fölkersam with their commander and lacking any communications to rebut or confirm his statement, the Soviets began to evacuate Maikop. The German spearhead entered the city without a fight on August 9, 1942.

>On the morning of September 24, 1941, Fritz Christen and his anti-tank battery were engaging Russian targets north of the village of Lushno (Luzhno). In an initial engagement, Soviet skirmishers killed all of the other men of the battery. While exposed to artillery and small arms fire, Christen manned his 50mm cannon alone, holding on without supplies or provisions for the next three days. When a counterattack by other Totenkopf troops recaptured Lushno, Christen was credited with having knocked out 13 Soviet tanks and killed nearly 100 enemy soldiers singlehandedly.

>The soldiers that greeted him were baffled that a single artilleryman could hold his position against hundreds of Soviet troops and a formidable armor presence. For this stunning act of individual bravery, SS-Obergruppenführer Theodor Eicke awarded Christen with the Iron Cross, First Class and recommended him simultaneously for the Knight's Cross. Subsequently, Hitler awarded him the Knight's Cross, making Christen the first enlisted man in his division to be given the honor.

Some of the 21st century Bedouin are pretty cool too. Most aren't living nomadically anymore, but the IDF contracts Negev Bedouin as field trackers on the border with Lebanon.

http://english.alarabiya.net/en/perspective/profiles/2013/04/24/Bedouin-army-trackers-scale-Israel-social-ladder-.html

In Jordan, almost half the country is Bedouin, and many actually live as nomads for part of the year before returning to urban life. They still try to retain a lot of their culture, but they still recognize the Jordanian monarchy. And in turn, the government provides those Bedouins who want to live in urban society with the means to do so, and leaves the Bedouins who want to live like their ancestors be. Pretty good system.

>tfw you will never operate with crutches like Enrico Toti


Enrico Toti (20 August 1882 in Rome – 6 August 1916 in Monfalcone) was an Italian cyclist, patriot and hero of World War I.

Enrico lost his left leg while working for Italian railways, at the age of 24. After his injury he became a cyclist. In 1911, riding on a bicycle with one leg, he cycled to Paris, and then through Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark, up to Finland and Lapland. From there, via Russia and Poland, he returned to Italy in June 1912. In January 1913 Toti started cycling again, this time in Egypt; from Alexandria, he reached the border with Sudan where the English authorities, considering the trail too dangerous, ordered him to end the journey, and sent him to Cairo where he came back to Italy. When war broke out between Italy and the Austrian Empire, Toti tried to volunteer for the Italian army but was not accepted due to his injury. Undaunted, he reached the frontline with his bicycle and managed to serve as an unpaid, unregistered, fully non-regulation "civilian volunteer" attached to several units. Forced to leave the combat zone and return home by the Carabinieri (Military Police), Toti stubbornly returned to the front and finally managed to join (still unofficially) the 3rd Bersaglieri Bicycle Battalion. He was killed in the Sixth Battle of the Isonzo. Fatally wounded in a clash, he hurled his crutch at the enemy. He was posthumously awarded the Gold Medal of Military Valor (Italy's highest award for valour), one of the relatively few civilians to have this honour bestowed on them.

Let me introduce you to Unsinkable Sam

He was a Kriegsmarine cat who survived the sinking of the Bismarck, made a pet of the crew of the HMS Cossask. The Cossask then proceeded to get torpedeoed and Sam survived the sinking of the Cossask. Same of then picked up by the HMS Ark Royal and continued to do his cat service of morale boosting and mousing when the HMS Ark Royal too was torpedoed. Sam survived this as well . The survivors, including Sam, who had been found clinging to a floating plank by a motor launch, and Sam was described as "angry but quite unharmed"

He was then transferred to HMS Lightning and the same HMS Legion which had rescued the crew of Cossack. Legion would itself be sunk in 1942, and Lightning in 1943.

Sam, however, retired from service and took up residence with the Governor of Malta, the to a Belfast with a seaman heading home. He died in 1955

The Italian Alpini were also very operator

>Italian alpine troops (the Alpini) who fought their way through the Soviet lines to rescue a small pocket of Italian resistance at Nikolayevka. They reached them and then turned around and fought their way back out again on January 26, 1943. Even the Russians were astounded by their heroic achievement and Radio Moscow said, “only the Italian Alpini Corps is to be considered unbeaten on the Russian front”.

Contrary to the memes and shitposting Italy had their successes and losses like everyone else. They were just at mostly logistical disadvantage. The average Italian soldier didn't lack the will or bravery. Just lacked equipment and proper command.

>>30680045
He was pretty damned good with the Colt too, if his letters to his brother are to be believed. Once, he claimed to be able to put five shots out of seven, rapid fire, into a Turkish coin at 25 yards.

I don't know the size of the coins he used for targets, but if they were around the size of a silver dollar or fifty cent piece, that's pretty damned impressive.

>>30680926

>"The Italian command was, for the most part, not equal to the task of carrying on war in the desert, where the requirement was lightning decision followed by immediate action. The training of the Italian infantryman fell far short of the standard required by modern warfare. Particularly harmful was the all pervading differentiation between officer and man. While the men had to make shift without field-kitchens, the officers, or many of them, refused adamantly to forgo their several course meals. Many officers, again, considered it unnecessary to put in an appearance during battle and thus set the men an example. All in all, therefore, it was small wonder that the Italian soldier, who incidentally was extraordinarily modest in his needs, developed a feeling of inferiority which accounted for his occasional failure and moments of crisis. There was no foreseeable hope of a change for the better in any of these matters, although many of the bigger men among the Italian officers were making sincere efforts in that direction." rommel

And I was trying to point out that there was a difference between the Hashemites and, say, ISIS, as just one example.

>>30668736
>athlete

There's an understatement. The guy was reputedly able to run a mile in under five minutes, and long jump twenty-two feet. And this is with minimal athletic training.

Hell, half the reason he was so respected by the Bedouin, aside from being able to speak their unique dialects and adopt their culture and mannerisms, was that he was even tougher than they were, or at least was able to give that impression. Either way, it's impressive. What is known for sure is that he could outshoot their best marksmen, and eventually learned to outperform their best camel riders. That sort of thing goes a long way with nomadic fighters. But you seem to have made that point well enough.

>>30682525
